Details: Popko said that the Russians attacked the Ukrainian capital from Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers deployed from the Caspian Sea, probably using Kh-101 or Kh-555 cruise missiles. After the missiles had been launched, the Russians deployed their reconnaissance UAVs over the capital.

Preliminary reports indicate that debris was recorded falling in Desnianskyi and Darnytskyi districts of the capital. The most damage was recorded in Darnytskyi district with fire breaking out on the grounds of a garage cooperative. The fire has since been extinguished.

In other districts, there may have been debris falling on parked cars, in the yards of the buildings or parks. No information on casualties has been received so far. "The information is being collected and clarified," Popko said.
